Hello
On November 19 and 20, 2018, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will host the 6th symposium on the funding priority "KMU-innovativ". The SME conference under the motto "SMEs shape digitization" will take place in Berlin.
Technological progress in the IT industry is primarily attributable to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which today account for 90% of IT companies in Germany. Due to their great industry-specific know-how as well as their special proximity to customers, SMEs often recognize the needs of the market earlier and can respond with new, innovative approaches to solutions.
For this reason, the BMBF has launched the "KMU-innovativ" funding measure. The core objective of the initiative is to simplify and accelerate the application for and approval of funding for SMEs. In addition, companies are allowed to define the content and topics of the funded projects themselves. With the help of the funding, SMEs should be able to strengthen and expand their business field and become more competitive.
For the conference, the Federal Ministry has invited various representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises of the promotion. During the two-day event, participants will be able to network and exchange ideas. In addition to keynote speeches, the program also includes panel discussions on various topics of digitalization such as Industry 4.0 and data engineering.
Let's dev GmbH & Co. KG will present a demonstrator together with the participating companies from the consortium of the BMBF-funded research project Data Sovereignty Manager (DaSoMan). In addition, our CEO Karl-J. Wack will take part in a panel discussion on security and data protection in the digital world.
